By the arrival of the Vanderbilt steamship Ariel off Cape Race on Friday last, where she was inter- cepted by the yacht of the Associated Press, we have news from Europe to the 16th instant, four daya later than the accounts received by the Persia. ‘The general intelligence is unimportant. Nothing of interest is reported as having occurred in political circles, except an announcement in the Paris Moni- teur tothe effect that France is not arming with the view of warlike contingencies. The steamship New York, which left Glasgow on the 12th instant for this port, was wrecked on the same day on the ooast of Scotland. The latest quotation for consols is 96 for account. In the Liverpool market all kinds of American produce was depressed, and a slight de- cline in cotton is reported. We have advices from the city of Mexico to the ‘19th, and from Vera Cruz tothe 22d inst. The news is highly important. The forced loan question was creating great excitement. Foreigners non-comply- ing with the law had been ordered to leave the coun- try. The goods of the American residents who failed to comply with the law had been seized, and in consequence thereof our Minister, Mr. Forsyth, had demanded and received his passports. We have remarked at some length upon this conduct of the government of Mexico and our Minister inthe edito- rial colamns of to-day’s paper. The constitution- alists were everywhere gaining strength in Mexico, and it was reported that Zuloaga was about going to Tampico, from whence he could make a speedy exit from the country whenever flight became necessary — a contingency probably not very remote. We have seen a private letter from London, re- ceived by the last steamer, which states that Ge- neral Almonte, the Mexican Minister to England, had left that city, it was reported for the Continent, but that he had really embarked for New York, and that his object in coming here was to negotiate a large purchase of arms for Santa Anna, and get them out of the country. If this is so, he is probably ensconced in some of our hotels incognito, and nego- tiating for munitions of war with some of the big filibusters. There is something on foot here about Mexico. A despatch from St. Louis announces the arrival of the Salt Lake mail at St. Josephs, Mo, with Camp Scott dates to the 5th instant. The army had re- ceived ample supplies of provisions, which were sent forward by Colonel Hoffman. General John- ston had decided upon an advance into the Valley as soon as reinforced by Colonel Hoffman and Captain Marcy. The former was met within twenty and the latter fifty miles from the camp by the mail train. Go- vernor Cumming, the Peace Commissioners and the Postmaster had already proceeded to Salt Lake City. Our despatch does not give any general news from the Mormon capital. It gives, however, an interesting account of the position and progress of the various parties met by the mail train on the Plains. General Harney was met on the 20th inst. ten miles west of the Big Blue. He had just heard of bis appointment as Brigadier General. According to the report of the City Inspector there were 347 deaths in the city during the past week, a decrease of 3 as compared with the mortality of the week previons,and an increase of 23 as compared with the corresponding week of last year. The fol- lowing table exhibits the number of deaths during ‘the past two weeks among adults and children, die tinguishing the sexes: — Mon. Women. Boys. Girls. Total, ‘Week ending June 19... 70 ™ 105 103, Weed ending June 26... 75 ov 105 J aT Among the principal causes of death were the fol- Bronchitis. ; . 8 There were also 9 deaths of cholera infantum, 4 of cholera morbus, 9 of inflammation of the bowels, 9 of diarrhoea, 2 of dysentry, 4 of apoplexy, 9 of con- gestion of the brain, 16 of diseases of the heart, 8 of smalipox, 5 premature births, 23 stillborn, and 18 from violeat causes, including 1 suicide, 2 murders, and * cases of drowning.

The mercury in cool places ranged from ™ degrees to 97 degrees, and those who were exposed to the sun's rays must have experienced a temperature of 100 degrees and over. There was scarcely any breexe stirring, and not a cloud in the sky to moderate the intensity of the beat. This is summer with a vengeance. Usually our very warm weather in this latitude does not begin before the middle of July, and the mercury rarely runs up into the nineties in Jone. We have caught it this year, however, good and strong, and must bear it as well @ wecan. As these excessively warm terms rarely last over seventytwo hours, we may reasonably eee this very warm weather lasts it would be well to caution imprudent people against the excessive use of liquids. Drink as little cold water as possible and no strong liquors. The latter inflames the blood, and the former gives the absorbing vessels too much to do, thus causing additional heat. If you must drink let it be soda water or light acid wines. Moistening the month and throat with a solution of the bicarbonate of soda is good. Avoid black gar- ments and cultivate light colored, thin clothing. Bathe morning and evening, and those who can, had better stert for the country at once. Above all things, preserve an equable frame of mind. The motion to quash the indictments against Judge Rossell, Mr. Ullman and the officers of the Court of Sessions, who resisted the efforts of MrJWilkes and his critic to force their way into the Academy of Music some months ago, was heard yesterday before. Recorder Barnard in the Court of Sessions. Mr. A Oakey Hall and Mr. Charles O’Conor argued in fa- vor of the motion, and Mr. Whiting, who, by con- sent of the Assistant District Attorney, appeared for the private prosecutor, against it. The Recorder took the papers and holds the case under advise- ment. He will probably render his decision in the course of next week- What that decision will be it ia not difficult to surmise. We will publish a report of the arguments in Monday's Hasan. Yesterday being the last day of the term of the Court of Sessions, the City Judge and the Recorder passed a number of sentences. Thomas O'Rourke pleaded guilty to an attempt at burglary and was sent to the penitentiary for one year. Samuel Dick- erson, indicted for violating the lottery laws, plead- ed guilty,and was remanded for sentence. James B. Finlay, charged with kidnapping a colored girl and striving to sell her into slavery, pleaded guilty to that effence. In consequence of his youth and previous good character the Recorder sent him to the penitentiary for two years. Heury Blamenthal, convicted of burglary, in breaking into the store of Mr. Kurido, 477 Canal street, and stealing a quanti- ty of boots and shoes, was sent to the State prison for ten years, he being ari old offender. Alex- ander Hoag, found guilty of keeping a disorderly house at the corner of Grand and Mercer streets, was sent to the penitentiary for six months. George Seifert, convicted of burglary in the third degree, was sent to the State prison for three years. Edward Lilly, a notorious confidence game man, pleaded guilty to larceny, and was sent tp the State prison for two years. Antonio Foose, guilty of an assault with a dangerous weapon, was imprisoned in the State prison for two years. Richard Corkroy, convicted of an assault with a dangerous weapon, was sent to the penitentiary for six months. The Cancemi case was brought up yesterday in the Supreme Court, general term. A bill of excep- tions had been prepared, and the Court assigned Saturday, 10th proximo, for the argument of counsel. Additional advices from British Guiana inform us that the legislative Committee of Ways and Means pledged itself to defray the cost of the introduction of female Chinese immigrants, under such condi- tions and regulations as the Governor and Court of Policy shonld frame. The sales of cotton yesterday were limited, being con- fined to some 500 a 600 bales, without change in prices. The flour market was steady, with fair sules, chiefly to the home trade, closing without change in quotations. Wheat was firm for all good qualities, while common or lower grades were unchanged. Sales were to a fair ex- tent at rates given in another column. Corn was firmer for sound cargoes, while sales were moderate. Pork was lower, but more active. Sales of mess at $16 13.8 $16 25 ‘and small lots at $16 50. Inc‘uded in the sales were 1,000 bis. of mess, payable in cash on Monday, a! $16 12%, with prime at 61360 and clear mess at $1775. Sugars Wore active and firm, with sales at full prices. Coffee ‘was quiet and firm. Freight engagements were moderate ‘end rates unchanged, ‘The News from Mexico—What Our Govern- ment Sheuld at Once Do. Our advices from Mexico, received by tele- graph from New Orleans, are of a most impor- tant character. The Zuloaga government has come to an open rupture with the American Minister, and laid violent hands upon the pro perty of American citizens in Mexico, in oppo- sition to the known sentiments of our legation, and in defiance of all international law and ex- isting treaty stipulations. It would seem probable, from the farther tenor of our despatches, that President Zulo- aga and his priestly counsellors have done this asa last resort to enable them to obtain the means to leave the country. It was stated that Zuloaga was going to Tampico for refage, and it is not at all unlikely that we may hear of his arrival at Havana on board the British steamer which is to leave Tampico on the 3d of next month. Mr. Forsyth, our Minister, has de- manded his passports, and it isnot unlikely that he may be on bis way home at this time. Now that our steam mail communication with Vera Cruz has been cut off through the niggardliness of Congress, Mr. Forsyth may be compelled to embark in the same British steamer with Presi- dent Zuloaga, and come home by way of Havana. The intelligence indicates that our interests in Mexico are in a critical condition and require more than ever the watchful care of our govern- ment. We have already vindicated, some days since, the rightfulness of the course taken by Mr. Forsyth in relation to the forced contri- bation, and the utter illegality of that tax upon foreign residents. In the critical postition of public affairs in Mexico there is also another reason why we should regret the absence of Mr. Forsyth from the republic. The fall of Zuloaga and the reactionists will bring the liberal party again into power there, and the leaders of this party rely upon the countenance and moral support of the United States in the same degree that the reactionists rely upon some of the European governments to sustain them through their legations, With this triumph of the liberals, Mexico is destined to undergo sweep- ing changes, in which the interests of foreign residents may meet with as great prejudice as from the cupidity of the church party under Zuloaga, unless they are restrained by the advice of some foreign representative in whose honest sympathy in favor of liberal measares and republican institutions they have some reason to confide. 7 But what is most of all important, in view of the certainty of some change in Mexioo, is, that the course recently taken by Mr. Forsyth shali be promptly aod energetically sanctioned and sustained by our government. Its views and opinions in this matter should be at once made known to the Mexican Minister here, and to any government that may come into power in Mexico. As the government which has taken the obnoxious course there is not recognized by the greater Portion of the republic, and is likely soun to pass out of existence, the case dees not seem tu be one that requires # deroonstration of forve It would be well, however, that some demon stration should be made at once. [a inter national affairs the certainty of an immediate support of national righte is just as necessary and efficacious as is the certainty of the prompt application of the penalty of the law reqaisite in every community to impore respect for the law Under there circumstances, Mr. Buchanan should be prepared to send a special commis NEW YORK HERALD, SUNDAY, JUNE 27, 1858. sioner to Mexico, with instructions to make known to any government that may be in |‘ power tbere ite fixed determination to cause the rights of our citizens to be respected, and that it will not pass over in ignominious ailence the repetition of such acts as the last three years have witnessed, not only toward our private citizens, but toward our official representatives. Such a course Is neces sary toward all parties in Mexico. It isnot one alone that has been guilty. Under President Comonfort we had our Consul arrested at Ma- zatlan and dragged through the streets to prison for doing his duty. Zuloaga seizes upon the property of our countrymen to found a ns tional bank; and Garza, a leading liberal of the present echool, does the same thing with Ameri- can property, in order to enable him to retake Tampico. There is also another reason why Mr. Buchanan should at once send a competent special commissioner to Mexico. Congress, in ite close-fisted wisdom, has cut off our mail com- munication with Mexico, and our advices trom there will now be seldom and slow ia coming. The government will be long without advices from there, and uaable to return its instructions to its agents with speed, at a time when great changes are likely to take place there, daring which its wishes and opinions should be in some way known to the Mexican rulers. Another element of Mexican disturbance exists in the rumored presence of Gen. Al- monte in this city as an agent for Santa Anna. All of these things combined make it important that the same error should not be committed in our Mexican relations that has been committed with those of New Granada and Nicaragua. Two most important treaties for American interests have been made with the representatives of those Powers in Washington, and sent out for ratification without the support of an American representative of any kind in the capital of either of those republics. We are now tasting the fruits of this delay in the lag- ging of our treaty in New Granada, and the triumphs of Monsieur Belly in Central America. We trust that Mr. Buchanan will not permit our Mexican relations to get into the same state of entanglement from a like cause. Tae Nexr Presipency—Sewarp vs. Crrr- TENDEN.—The rump and the organs of the late Know Nothing party, North aad South, are raising @ tremendous uproar in behalf of Mr. Crittenden as the Union opposition candidate for the next Presidency. Singularly enough, too, there are very few organs to be found among the republican ranks cruel enough to throw cold water on this experiment. Greeley, on the contrary, seems to like it. He is cer- tainly open to conviction, and generally among the republicans the trick appears to be to pat this Crittenden movement upon the back and coax it along. Perhaps, when least expect- ed, they will throw the gallant old Kentuckian overboard. The Chevalier Webb, however, does not like all this hue and ery in his favor, and is resolved that the superior claims of Mr. Seward shall not be overlooked. Accordingly, the Che- valier parades the vote of the late Illinois Re- publican State Convention on the Presidency with a most refreshing unction, and the fact that Seward’s vote was, in that Convention, two to one over all other candidates combined, is con- sidered as decisively in his favor as was the general whig sentiment of 1842 in favor of Henry Clay. Very well. When the Crittenden “people's party,” and the Seward managers, and the Fre- mont men, and the Banks men, and the Hale and Chase men, and the old protection whigs, and the radical free trade democrats, and the Know Nothings, and the anti-Know Nothing German Legion, and the pro-slavery and anti- elavery factions ef the grand opposition army shall have arrived at some agreement, we shall be able to pick out “the happy man.” Till then, Mr. Crittenden is at the mercy of the jug- glers, and Seward is all at cea. Yacutixe as aN AmuseMeNT.—Toe Race Arounp Lone Istanp.—No sporting event that bas occurred in our neighborhood for many years past has excited so much interest as the yacht race round Long Island. The public and the press have both manifested, in the most unequivocal manner, the favor with which they regard this departure from the old established routine of the yacht clubs. So long as the lat- ter manifested amexclusive spirit, and an indif- ference to public opinion, their proceedings at- tracted but little attention. Noone cared for contests to which there were no bidden guests, and no desire to attract the encouragement which affords a spur to competition. Besides, if euch a disposition had existed on the part of the yacht clubs, there was little in these events them- felves to invite notice. Races run in smooth water, and without the tests of stiff breezes and rough seas, had so little that was stirring in them that the public might well be excused for abeenting themselves from such spiritless and uninteresting spectacles. With the acquisition of greater experience, a finer class of vessels and a more active spirit of emulation, the New York Yacht Club has emanci- pated itself from the restraints imposed upon it by ite standing regulations. It has resolved to thow that in epirit, boldness and nautical skill, it is in a position to take rank with any of the Englith clubs. The present race over a course of two handred and fifty miles—half of which is an open sea track—has served to develope some of these qualities. It has at the same time demon- strated tbe real sailing properties of the different yachta, which have never before been fairly terted. We congratulate the public on a revo- lution in yachting operations which promises them #06 much fature sport, and in which, by the aid of excursion steamers, so many will be able to take part. Besides the amusement which they will derive from these contests, they may look forward to more substantial advantages in the increased influx of visiters which they will annually bring to New York and the increased expenditure of mouey which they will occasion. Bat greater than all this isthe benefit arising from the taste which they will diffuse for aquatic sports amongst our overworked and physically dege- berated population. Seeing the low condition of health to which the universal struggle for gold ts bringing all classes, we ought to regard as a blessing every movement which is calca- lated to temporarily divert the miotl from this all-abeorbing worship of Mammon. Tne Stare Loans—The late State loans of this State have been awarded at various rates from 103 to 100.80. They were five por cent loans, At this rate, thie State has dove at least as well as the general government. What a contrast to the time of the late panic, when New York wanted a loan, and could not get « bid at any rate! Vhe Hon, Jushaa R, Giddings vs. the Ad- aninistratiun and the Slave Power. That venerable abolition sinner, Hon. Joshua R Giddings of Ohio, is out with a long pronunciamiento to his constituents, chiefly upon the Kansas settlement of the late session of Congress. He justifies his course in voting for the Crittenden-Montgomery bill, upon the ground that as his party could not carry avy billto make Kansas directly a free State, their only alternative was to prevent, if poasi- ble, the adminisiration aud the “slave power” trom admitting her directly as a slave State. Upon this ingenious peint of defence poor old Mr. Giddings beats about the bush in a very ingenious manner ; but he fails to shake the fact that “with a condition precedent,” he voted for the Lecompton constitution, and thus voted to make Kansas a slave State, not once, but several times, and so with the whole repub. lican party of both houses of Congress. They have thus so committed and stultified them- selves upen the Lecompton constitution, that they cannot consistently ake an issue with the “slave power” upon that question. But, having made his defence upon Kansas, the amiable Mr. Giddings brings up the follow- ing terrible biil of indictment against the ad- ministration and the “slave power.” Hear him :— But the establishment of slavery in Kensas constituted an incigent in the of the ad ninistra- of territory in the territory thus obtained, the anpexatioa of Oubs, the conquest of Hayti and subjecting ite people to slavery, were some of the more important objects for which they were striving. pa pen be thedion hg arth Gaetan eee ‘witbout the physical power to enforce its decrees. Asan increase of the army, & war upon the Mormons. on account of their esp once hap an sage although the right of Congres to probibit “that relic of barbariem” by law was denied by the democratic party, ‘whose maxim had been tbe le of a for. ritory “have the supreme right to estab: their own domestic institutions in their own way.’ Now, the actual measures, messages and pro- ceedings of the administration in reference to Mexico, Central America, the slave trade, Cuba and Hayti, forma sufficient answer of facts to all this electioneering rubbish of a reckless abolition agitator. He knows, too, or ought to know, that the rebellious attitude and acts of the Mormons last fall, and the indications from all quarters of our Western frontiers of im- pending Indian hostilities at the same time, were the caures which led to the call for an in- crease of the regular army; and he knows, too, or ought to know, that the simple object of the administration in this call was to make sure work against all those possible contingencies of war. We canalso tell Mr. Giddings, in this connection, that to the decisive attitude assumed by the administration the country is indebted for the prevailing symptoms of peace, both among the Mormons and the Indians. Bat the venerable gentleman from Ohio says “the defeat of the bill for increasing the army constituted the first step towards the overthrow of the slave power.” We ask, how- ever, how can this be 80, when among the most prominent advocates of this regular army bill was Senator Seward, of New York, while among its most violent opponents were Senator Toombs, of Georgia, a chief trumpeter of the “slave power,” and other Southern democratic fire-eaters? These facts, we -think, knock the underpinning from the venerable Ohio aboli- stayed. This is certainly a very curious piece of in- formation; and as Mr. Giddings seems to know all about it, he would really oblige us in a more particular statement of the matter. “Acqui- sition of territory!” Where? “Annexation of Cuba!’ How? We cannot understand how Congress was to have undertaken the work of annexing Cuba exoept by opening the way to the filibusters; and we apprehend that the seve- ral messages of the President actually sent to Congress on filibustering, give the quietus to that idea. There is comfort in the assurance that “the mad career of the slave power has been stayed;” and we think there is not much to be feared from it hereafter, considering the facts that the free States now stand seventeen to fifteen slave Statee, that before the end of another year the free Statés will be nineteen against fifteen slave States, and that by the year 1860 Nebraska and Washington Territo- rics will make the list of free States twenty- one, against fifteen slave States, with two or three of these latter rapidly sloughing off the institution of slavery. We may, then, safely dismise all further fears of the aggressions of the “slave power,” for it ceases to be a North- ern scarecrow. The Hoa. Joshua R. Giddings must be reduced to desperate straits in his district, or he must have a precious community of abolition fana- tics and silly old grannies to deal with, or he would never have descended to such stuff and nonsense as are the charges and specifications hbe-has arrayed against the administration and the “slave power.” But the old man is some- thing of a fanatic himself; and fresh from the exciting seenes of the late session of Congress, he may believe that he soca or has seen every- thing which he describes—‘“slave power” plots, Cabinet conspiracies, and all. When an old man, ruled by this one idea of fear and hatred of the “slave power,” gets his head so full of hobgoblins as poor old Father Giddings, he ought to be kept at home. Dow Quixote pe ta Mancna Reprvrvvs.—Our readers will find in another column the solemn advice of the Don Quixote of La Bxpana to the Sanchos of Spain as to the best manuer of oar- rying on the war against the United States, which must inevitably take place on account of that Dulcines del Toboso, the island of Caba. With a wisdom peculiarly Qu xetis, the writer dwells upon the manner of reaching the heart of the United States at the firs’ shut, and laying us out cold at a single blow. The only doubt that will rest upon the mind of the reader will be the same that has always attended Cervantes’ admirable work—tbat ie, whether the writer is in earnest, or whether he ‘s quizzing the mo- dern Pelayos and Cids of the Peoinsala. Mr. Secretanr Cons ann THE SLAVE Trapens. Read the letter of Mr. Secretary Cobb in refe- rence to the importation of African apprentices into the United States. It will there be seen that the question of the revival of the African slave trade, which was left unflaished by the late fire- eaters’ Southern Commercial Convention, has been very effectually finished by the citation of the law, and its plaincst possible interpretation. Iewa Repei.tion Coxrrmurions—Tax War tax Monsr Gors —We publish in another part of this paper e circumstantial statement from the Savannah Republican, showing how the Irish Rebellion fund, collected there in 1848, hasbeen disposed of by eome of the parties concerned in its safe keeping, and how a suit at law has been insti- tated by athers among the interested parties to recover the money. And we are thus reminded that some ten years ago a tremendous excite- ment was raised here by the New York Zribune over a formidable revolutionary war reported to have broken out in Ireland. A fierce battle had been fought at Slievegammon, or some such place, and the government troops engaged had been slaughtered to such an extent that the stripped bodies of their slain were scattered like flocks of sheep over the fields for a distance of six, eight, ten or fifteen miles!" The effect of this inspiring news (published exclusively in the Tribune) was positively sublime. A public meet- ing was called upon the strength of it, at which, if we are not mistaken, a liberal subscription from Archbishop Hughes gave the impetus to a speedy collection of rome forty thousand lol- lars, for the great work of Ireland’s liberation. The Hon, Massa Greeley had a long fmger in that pie; but he has never told us what was done with the money. Upon the heels of these Georgia disclosures we think he ought to come out and make as clean breast of it, and frankly tell us what did become of those forty thousand doliars for Ireland, ‘“‘be the same more or less.” And, while his hand is in, he might as well tell us, also, who got that thousand dollar draft of the Des Moines Improve- ment Company, of which Massa Greeley was the stakeholder; likewise the specifications of the G@isbursement of the Tribune Kansas fund of $100,000; and in addition thereto, all the facts connected with the collection and apprepriation of the lobby fund raised for the election of Mr. Banks as Speaker of the last Congress; and all the facts necessary to clear up the mystery of Matteson’s proposed “free wool” fund of $25,000, which was to be placed in the hands of Massa Greeley, as a reserved deposit for the purchase of corruptible members of Congress. Let Masea Greeley enlighten us, frankly and honestly, upon all these things, and then he may harp upon Fort Snelling and Willett’s Point every morning till next Christmas, Hon. Joun Cocurane Amone His Constitv- ents.—A New Puank ror THE Democratic Piatrorm.—We publish to-day the address of the Seventeenth Ward Independent Democratic Club, through a committee appointed for the occasion, to the Hon. John Cochrane, on his return home, and his reply thereto. The com- mittee cordially and entirely endorse the course of their representative in Congress, and say that his “ past isa safe guarantee for the fu- ture,” and that the committee, “ representing no small portion of the bone and sinew of the democracy of the Seventeenth ward, only anti- cipate the desire of all by now saluting him, in advance, as their representative for another term in Congress.” ‘This is as much as any representative returo- ing to his constituents could reasonably demand of them in the way of a ratification of his efforts to meet their wishes in the national councils. That he has done well the records of the late session, upon great issues and small, will bear ample testimony. But he is not con- tent with this, In his reply to the committee he broaches a new movement, a new plank for the democratic plattorm, which, if carried out, will identify the peculiar interests of our great commerciat metropolis very largely with the specific policy of the federal government. This new movement is. foreshawdowed in his remarks on commerce. He eays that it is “the duty of our government to encourage commerce, to establish commerce, to filibuster (not with filibusters, but) with commerce. Let it enable fleets of steamers to compete through all Central and South America with the com- mercial efforts of Great Britain and France— let it empower our merchants in every port to direct their adventures where wealth shall fol- low upon American enterprise, and dominion upon American trade, and what transit route could then be closed against us?” Very govd for the chairman on Commerce of the House of Representatives. Good doctrine for the government, and decidedly good for this commercial centre of the continent. Let Mr. Cochrane stick to this cardinal principle of the extension of American commerce, by every available act of encouragement on the part of Congress, and his constituents will stick to him. The nigger is fast becoming s dead nigger, a dead issue, and questions affecting our monetary and commercial affairs will soon rule the roast. Tonacco—Irs History, Propverion np Consumprion.—We refer our readers to an elaborate and interestiog article under the above head in another part of this paper. It gives a sketch of the history of the plant, asso- ciated as it is with more interesting incidents than any other ever caltivated for commercial purposes. It contains interesting statistics re- garding its growth in the United Siates for comparative periods of time, showing the in- crease of its production within ten years in the Western, Middle and Northern States, together with the value of exporta, &o. It also exhibits the amount of taxes levied on it by all foreign governments to which it is exported from the United States. It is shown also that the annual revenue raised on it in France amounts to about $20,000,000, and in England to about $23,000,- 000, or to a total for both countries of about $53,000,000. Spain and many of the German States, and especially Austria, also obtain large revenues by taxes on this remarkable article of commerce. Toe Ourvatier Were Reavy To Serve tw Tue Next Conoress —It appears that the Che. valier Webb, to far from having any objections to run for the next Congress, wishes it to be un- derstood that if elected by the opposition of the Westchester district he will cordially serve them. We therefore volanteer this notification to all the other opposition candidates of the said district, republican or Know Nothing, to took out for the Chevalier Webb; and should he run all his anti-democratic competitors off tie track, and be reguiarly nominated and elected let Matteson (Orsawus Benajah) or his anoiat ed successor as chief of the lobby, look out for his laurels in the next Oongress. That's all “Free woot” will be at a premium with the election of the Chevalier Webb, pawy with Lor , Lord Grosvenor, and Lord Cavendish, of Rogiand, were yesterday introduced to his loner Mayor Tiemauo, by Samuel 8.
